People in Hogwarts, holding scripts and systems

Afro had never been so excited about the start of school. The reason was that 23 told her about their current situation. She never gave up and decided to start the new year by not being at the bottom!

"2333, whatever missions you have, just come and give them to me!" Afro rolled up her sleeves and moved her arms and legs, her joints making crackling sounds. A broom danced in her hand, leaving an afterimage.

"Okay, now let's issue the tasks! Task one..."

"Wait!" Afro threw away the broom and stretched out his hand to interrupt 23. He admitted his mistake as quickly as he had shouted just now.

"Let me exchange some items first!"

Afro opened the system mall and went straight to the weapons column. Although she couldn't afford the ultimate item now, all her fears came from insufficient firepower.

She didn't even look at it and directly exchanged it for a Gatling gun.

"Gatling Gun of Love: Truth is always only within the range of the cannon. With it, you can fight the Jade Emperor in the sky and burn the King of Hell in the ground.

Attribute: Each round, increase physical attack by 50%

Price: (cheaper than the Italian cannon downstairs~)"

"Your mall still discriminates?" When Afuluo saw the last shrunken producer's text, three beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

After buying the props, Afuluo briefly became a pauper again. Seeing that she only had 1725 points left, she quickly closed the system mall to prevent herself from spending too much.

However, looking at the increasingly full backpack, Afulo felt that the points were really worth it!

She now has three items given by the main system: the fisherman's net, the handcuffs of justice, and the tearful iron chain.

I used a prop on Tom, as well as the Gatling gun I just bought, the flying carpet in the novice gift pack, an unknown pill, and a tattered doll of unknown purpose.

There are three titles: Giant Monster's Enemy, Villain's Envy, and Light Maiden. I have saved seven modification cards. Overall, I have gained a lot.

Noah, whose bedroom bathroom was broken, had just finished taking a shower in the bathroom on the first floor when he was caught by Mrs. Campbell who was passing by. She forced a cup of hot milk on him, and then put a new cup in it, asking him to give it to Afro.

Noah gathered his bathrobe with one hand. His slightly messy hair was wet and dripping. The water drops fell on his neck and flowed into his collar along the skin. He held the glass in his hand, and his whole body exuded a lazy feeling after bathing.

"Just pick the one that gives the most points, and we'll take that mission! 2333, next year I'll make sure you're elected the best system of the year!"

23: No need to do that~

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Afro and the system. Noah, standing behind the door, first heard Afro's response, then the creaking of the bed, and the sound of her putting on slippers.

Half a minute later, the white door in front of him opened. A little head poked out from the crack of the door, and the surprise in his eyes was not concealed when he saw Noah.

"My sister asked me to give it to you."

Noah handed over the glass that had been kept warm by the spell and offered it to her.

"Don't talk like that, it's a bit creepy."

No matter what time, Afro couldn't call Noah's face "uncle". It was too weird.

Besides, they are not even remotely related!

Mrs. Campbell's aunt was only nominal. If calculated based on blood relationship, she should be at least five generations away.

Afro took the glass, stood behind the door, raised her hand and drank it all in one gulp, then she returned the empty glass to Noah.

In fact, Noah was just teasing her. After all, such an unexpected and embarrassing thing happened during the day, and he was afraid that Afro would feel uncomfortable seeing him.

Even Mrs. Campbell noticed it and even asked him to deliver milk, probably because she was worried about them.

"Okay, mission accomplished. Go back to sleep." Noah turned and left with the empty cup, which frustrates Afro who was prepared for his sarcastic rebuttal.

She cautiously leaned out half of her body and glanced around the door. After making sure that Noah had not installed any suspicious props at her door, she closed the door with confidence.

When Noah returned to his room after walking around outside, his wet hair was almost dry.

He took off his bathrobe and changed into a clean pair of pajamas. His eyes fell on a drawer on the table. Noah walked over and groped inside the drawer with his slightly cool fingertips. The drawer he opened had an extra layer of grids.

More than a dozen small things of different sizes were neatly placed in the grid. There were ugly and cute big-eyed ornaments, small pendants with flying hair, and weirdly shaped decorations...

It's really hard for her to search for those ugly and strange things every time.

The merchant will probably be very happy if we sell it to her!

Noah ran his fingertips over these things one by one and hid them back into the secret compartment.

In fact, he had only known her feelings for a short time.

All along, his relationship with Afro has been maintained in a delicate balance.

They grew up together, and although they didn't see each other much each year, they were there for each other at every important growth node.

Noah watched Aphrodite grow from a naughty, coquettish and cute little kid into a little girl who cared about her image and knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

Although he was younger than Afro, in terms of time alone, they were only six months younger. Because it was already January of the second year, the family would assume that they were one year apart.

Noah tidied up the table and returned to the bed. In the dark room, only a weak bedside lamp was emitting light. Noah turned over and closed his eyes.

The scene he had seen many times in Hogwarts reappeared before his eyes.

That's how he came to understand that there is an emotion that one dares not to express or cannot express, called unwillingness.

It was obvious that he was the one who grew up with her and they were the closest people.

It was obvious that he knew everything about her best, her preferences, and her little actions.

He didn't know when he started to have other feelings besides family affection. Maybe it was just so unreasonable to like someone.

Maybe it was the first time they met, but even though he was secretly crying, Afro could still snatch his candy as if it was a matter of course.

Or maybe it was when she stood up for him and was beaten, and the sunlight in the sky shone on his face when he carried her home.

Or maybe it was because they were familiar with each other, so every time she got into trouble, he would willingly accept the blame she put on him.

Whatever it was, the hidden feelings were finally exposed to the sun and broke into his heart in an unignorable way.

So many outstanding boys are attracted to her, and so many so-called rules stand between them.

He was more qualified than anyone else, yet less qualified than anyone else.

He can no longer protect it.

A firework bloomed in the dark blue sky, just like the fleeting relationship between them.

Noah, who was trapped in love, suffered from insomnia.
